PostSubject: General Questions about the Realms   Thu Jan 03, 2008 9:59 am

I have a couple things I have been wondering, and I wanted to see what everyone else thought.

1)Can the members of the Order access the realms from anywhere in the world or just at Spence?

2) Are there limits to the magic? Or is it just completely unstructured?

Theres so many things that I want to know about the realms!!!

I think that as long as the weilder has the ability to preform the task they should be able to preform it, making it as limited as the weilder comprehends.- but the magic only does what you ask of it not what you imply, think back to RA when Gem tries to cure her dad.

*TSFT spoilers*










This is what I was wondering. I believe at the end of TSFT Gemma was traveling to America and was telling people in the realms she wouldn't be seeing them for a while. But I figured if she was able to access the realms anywhere, couldn't she go whenever she pleases over in America?

Does that make sense?

Well yeah but would you want to go back to the place that has just gone through a major war that cost you your beloved? ~good explanation by the way Mel. Razz

Yeah, that makes sense. I don't know. I'd probably spend all my time crying at the tree.

Thanks, btw. =]

Here's what I THINK might be the answer to your questions...

1)Can the members of the Order access the realms from anywhere in the world or just at Spence?

Yes, they can. I know that Felicity, Ann, and Gemma accessed the realms while in London multiple times.

2) Are there limits to the magic? Or is it just completely unstructured?

The magic can't heal, and it's just an illusion, it doesn't last long and can't make the real thing.

But remember there was only one entrace in TSFT: The East Wing. (Or maybe I'm confused, I haven't read that book in forever)

Actually, ya. In TSFT there was only one entrance throughout the book, but towards the end when Gemma, Felicity, Ann, Kartik, Miss McCleethy, and Mr. Fowlson are going into the Realms to kill the Tree of All Souls, they get trapped in the East Wing and Gemma is able to call upon the door of light by herself. I'd completely forgotten about that until I read it for the second time. Laughing
